The Diocese of Duluth is offering grants of up to $1,000 to organizations providing direct services to our low-income residents. The deadline to apply is May 1. Access the application and criteria by visiting http://www.dioceseduluth.org/crs-rice-bowl-small-grant-fund

Each Lent, Catholic Relief Services distributes small cardboard rice bowls for individuals and families to use in their almsgiving efforts. When these rice bowls are turned in, 75% of those proceeds are sent to Catholic Relief Services for their work overseas, and 25% stays in the Diocese of Duluth to address hunger and poverty right here.
